That was an incredible match. As soon as we heard that we would be against Warwick, and found out exactly who was on the Warwick team, I knew we would be in for a very tough match. Very well played to the Warwick team. They managed to get lots of extremely fast buzzes. Again I think everyone on our team did very well, especially Sarah on this match given that there were lots of classical music questions. I think it was only after buzzing on Wolverhampton that I realised that we got it past a team based in the West Midlands. I also think I just remembered that methyl orange was a thing before Kang was about to say violet. Near the very end, when Akarapongpisakdi buzzed I felt I was almost about to have a heart attack, since a tie-break would have been incredibly tense in Round 2 (far more so than in our first match). This match definitely could have easily gone either way, and I think Warwick would have gone far had they survived this round, since they were definitely a very strong team. The second round seems like it's going to have a lot of strong teams facing each other and being knocked out, so it seems that from now on every match will be this hard.

Thanks again, CosmicPumpkin! This was one of those rare times when I picked the winning team before the match, largely by hunch. It was a tale in three parts, really. A runaway by the eventual winners. Then a furious comeback by the losing team. And finally the winning team doing just enough to hold off the losing team. I edited this post to remove any reference to the losing team as 'losers'. They are anything but. Both teams and each individual can be justly proud of their efforts. My best to all of them.

Blimey. So harsh on Warwick, who I think could have gone far with a different draw. This series feels very strong though. Don't remember a weak first round winner. We'll likely lose a few could-have-been-a-contenders in the next few weeks. Nice seeing every contestant contributing, though Ms Henderson was MVP here.

Loved this second round match! Felt like a finale. Just when it seemed one sided, Warwick almost pulled a comeback and Akarapongpisakdi was soooo close to go for a tie break. Also loved Henderson getting all the music related questions right. And this Trinity team is so well rounded. All 4 of them get along so well as a team and as mates. And love how each of them celebrates a little when one of them gets a question right.

Well, that wasn't tense 😅! All players notably got at least two starters, and it all coming down to Caramel vs Caramelisation made for an enthralling encounter😯! Feel sorry for the losers, but with the quality we've seen so far in this series, this was a very distinct possibility, and probably won't be the last in this round - bring it on ⚔. Was very nice to see the winners head over after the game - looking forward to see what else they can do in this competition 👍.

Because the questions are so long, it must be terribly difficult to pull their attention back to hearing it fully after a good correct or a bad incorrect answer. THE HUMAN psyche is so easily distracted. It is different when the question is …who wrote or what’s the capital of…etc. If you know the answer your brain processes it quicker.
